East Texas Chapter of the Texas Master Naturalist

Mission of the organizationWe are a group of well-informed volunteers that provide education, outreach and service dedicated to the beneficial management of natural resources and natural areas within our communities.
Many communities and organizations rely on such citizen volunteers for implementing youth education programs; for operating parks, nature centers and natural areas; and for providing leadership in local natural resource conservation efforts. In fact, a short supply of dedicated and well-informed volunteers is often cited as a limiting factor for community-based conservation efforts.
